The 2000/2001 Season
is now well under way and the objective has been to look at as many
players as possible with a few to finalising a strong squad fro our
second season in the AIB League First Division. While results to
date have been mixed, it is fair to say that all the players have
benefited from the experience of competing for places in the senior
squad and hopefully it will stand to us throughout the AIB League.

Undoubtedly, the
success of any team in the AIB League is heavy influenced by the
strength of the squad available, hence our desire to give as many
players as possible competitive senior team experience. Our
objective for the coming season must to build on the tremendous
success of last season and endeavour to consolidate our position
among Ireland's elite clubs.

as in previous
years, it behoves me to express my thanks to the non-playing members
of the club, those who do not take the field at the weekend but in
various different ways give as much to the club, if not more, than
any of the playing panel. To the committees, ground staff, bar
staff, team coaches and managers, referees and all others, thank you
in advance for your help this season.

I trust that
everyone will have an enjoyable day here in DLSP and I look forward
to seeing you in the bar after the game.
